Is TT EORGERYs

The Sleepy Eye Herald calls attention to
what it claims to be forgery connected
with the bill passed by the late legislature
known as House File l51, RENTING to the
ST. Paul IL Chicago Railroad company all
back taxes OH its lands prior to 1884 1t
will be remembered that previously the
same Legislature passed bill taxing all
these lands, only eXemptng from back tax
alton such lands as have been purchased BY
actual settlers. Subsequently House File
157 was introduced and pushed through by
means of some invisible influence, repeating
the law that had been formerly passed so
far as the st. Paul 81 Chicago company's
land grants were involved prior to 1884
thus virtually annulling the decision of the
supreme court, which declared last Septem-
Der that the lands of this company we're
subject to taxation. That the legislature
should have done this is not a matter of
surprise to those who know that all the re-
form professions of the Republican party
were nothing but hypocritical cant. The
first bill that was passed was intended to
pacify the general cutlery against the
evil of eXempting lands owned by
wealthy spectators held in the name of a
railroad company to avoid taxation. Then
the Legislature turned right around and
passed another bill repeating Sd much of
the law as applied to the company which
owned the bulk of lands of this description

PHYSICAL TRAINING.

The fact that Harvard Will, during the
coming summer, establish a school for the
instruction of teachers of physical training
is in lire with the progress that has been
made in educational matters in late years.
The matter of athletics in schools and col
legeS is rightfullY being considered by edu-
Gators in more liberal spirit since expert
ence has proven that systematic and intell-
gent exercise isa help rather than detriment
to the earnest student. 1t is indeed now gen
orally admitted that the best all-round STU
dents are generally those who devote them
selves in some measure to athletics and
there have of late years been several ex-
amples of the best scholar being also the
champion sparrer, Oarsman or wrestler of
his school or college. Of course there are
individual instances in which students de-
vote themselves to sports to the exclusion
of the proper attention that should
be given to their studies, but they
are the exception rather than the rule.
The requirement of knowledge is useless
if it must be at the expenditure of health
and health can only be maintained during Sc
we're mental application by regular exercise
Some colleges have recognized this fact to
such all extent as to make gymnasium exer-
else compulsory upon the students and have
accomplished excellent results. But there
is as great danger in too great devotion to
the more violent forms of exercise as there
is in entire abstinence. Unless it is under
taken intelligently and under competent di-
rection, gymnasium practice Is likely to be
positively injurious. For this reason the
establishment of school at Harvard for
special training of physical educators is
worthy of the warmest commentator.
Possessing the finest gymnasium in the
world, Harvard is amply qualified to under
take the work. and there should not be
single liberal educational institution in the
country, able to afford the expense. hest
tating to take advantage of the excellent
opportunity offered.
